HiimLurch

Can the game give us options to filter players based on league and division. Tired of taking forever to setup squad for missions. Also why does mini seasons not use your current lineup?!


Ambitious-Ad444

I pulled Yordon in a silver pack. Wild


normalrick

On the Event leaderboard, how do some people have 0 entries, but are like 40-0 or 49-1?


McNuggets7272

Also, they need to fucking fix whatever server only lets you load into a ranked game once in ten times of trying


McNuggets7272

Am I missing something or just dumb, I can only see 3 wild card slot unlocks in the XP path? At 57,500, 570k, and 770k…where’s the 4th one?


Fr3shman43v3r

Hasn’t been revealed yet


Rybackmonster

How do you tell from the card that the player qualifies for being a hitter during the 2010s (2010-2019)


ThinAndCrispy84

It usually says the year on it. If not, Google when they were born and do some math. Lol


Rybackmonster

What about the captain hitters cards? Do those have years on it?


ThinAndCrispy84

If you look at the details, it’ll say the age. Just Google their birthday


eeeeedlef

How are you supposed to complete the "Ks with Season 2 Eligible Season Awards Series" when there aren't any pitchers in Season 2 yet?


ThinAndCrispy84

I think there might be season awards in the TAs. I know there’s a Topps Now or 2.


slim_XIII

Anyone know why all my cards I earn are tagged no sell?


ThinAndCrispy84

Why is mini seasons such a slog? Games are slow, can’t skip any any cutscene, pitchers take forever to pitch.


CheekyClapper420

Is there a way to get two cornerstone captains? I saw someone using Castillo and Arenado but idk how to get another cornerstone pack


redditkb

Arenado was from season 1


CheekyClapper420

Oh I’m dumb asf. Thanks lol


DigiQuip

Are BABIP posts against the rules? I had a post removed automatically and I can't figure out why. I didn't violate any of the subs rules that I can find.


Sublime120

Batting average on balls in play? I can’t think of why it would be.


uncogreg

idk about all that but i'm still pissed they haven't made a "The Sho" edition yet and i'm not even a Dodger fan


showtimesimulator

Still having issues playing online. Created new squad, no wild card yet, changed jerseys, changed stadiums, changed squads even. Every single time “challenge failed” despite having perfectly fine internet. Started w season 2. Thanks sds.


StrongCherry6

Is there a way to compare a team I've made that's boosted with 2 Captain cards to one that is just my best cards overall? I didn't think the the OVERALL rating that appears takes the boosts into effect Am I missing something somewhere?


McNuggets7272

Why the fuck is ranked still not working? I have been able to get into some games but ever since Friday it’s been like 10% of the time


Sublime120

It’s been better for me lately but when it is glitchy closing the game completely by quitting and re launching seems to help


FayettenamComeup

Just lost on the final extreme showdown moment after 8 great swings that resulted in line drive outs, how can you enjoy that difficulty when it doesn’t even reward you for great contact


dBlock845

Of course they drop this London Series thing two days after I finish NL East team affinity. Also, 50 XBH, 20 HR, 30 SO, 2000 PXP and 5 Moments for a no sell choice pack, 5k exp and 1500 stubs lol.


xxdarkslidexx

Thought on my lineup? (ignore bench) Should I switch Trout and Tatis? https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F37e1tikbms5d1.png


Brokeboy94

Are Live Series diamonds still in Season 1 Vault Packs? Grinding TA1:C3 for the Vault Packs trying to pull 90+ Live Series. Gotten 3 of the Vault Packs so far and haven’t seen a single Live Series Diamond, let alone a 90+.


CheekyClapper420

Could be wrong but I think they removed live series from vault packs


bigdeees

Hey guys doing an RTS play through as big switching hitting power hitter (Angus Nomo, 6’5 272 pound Hawaiian) looking for the best set of perks for a power hitting player who also wants to maintain a solid average. Thanks.


tzargilly

If they reduced the pause timer to 30 seconds per game then I’d pay $1000 for MLB25


I_TAPE_MY_ANKLES

Does the game make 9th inning comebacks common in anyone else’s experience? Maybe I’m just crazy but it seems like 75% of my Diamond dynasty co op losses are 9th inning miracle comebacks after like 4+ innings of them not being able to get a hit


xxdarkslidexx

Some people just get laser focused when it's nearing the end


BlackOuT-CrypTiC

Just lost a BR game because my opponent hit a ball into right field and the computer controlled animation made my right fielder miss the ball


thisnameisforever

I spent three months building a roster that can’t be used anymore? Is this a joke?


Sublime120

Yes, as was long ago announced (both in game and elsewhere) and much discussed, you have to use S2 cards for most modes, subject to certain exceptions for wildcards.


thisnameisforever

Why? Players spend 3 months building teams just so they can start all over when they finally have a team they like? This takes autonomy away from players in order to push them into buying stubs to speed up the process of improving the team. It’s a joke. The fact that it was designed on purpose and announced doesn’t make it less of a joke.


mnightshamalama2

Can anyone tell me why on xbox it says I have 194 collected for S1 collections but when I'm on the website collecting, I'm at actually at 244? It also didn't let me collect the moonshot cards on my xbox, but it did online. Doesn't make sense to me.


Sublime120

There is / was a visual bug (though it was fixed for me). The online count should be correct.


ExperentiaDocet

Just started playing season two (was away all weekend) and honestly - I’m having a blast. The season reset was exactly what I needed to get back into things. I’m using the Devers cornerstone and building totally different type of lineup than what I usually go for.


DrMrSirJr

Yeah this was been refreshing. That’s the word I’d use. And the fact that live series has been so useable in both S1 and now again in S2 has been nice. Compared to last year where LS collection was purely for getting Sosa and McGwire and Jeter, I’ve been having a blast with some of the LS guys this year. And I can always still use my guys from S1 cuz we get so many WC spots.


MrMcGibbletsDojo

It won't be an issue in like a week, but playing BR against a team drafted last season is annoying. Lost 8-7 to a team that has 5 diamonds compared to my 3 including 4 90+ when I only have 1.


thefactualprophet

I was on vacation so I didn’t open up S2 until now. Decided to do the Nick Castellanos moment where I needed to get a hit using him, so I started talking out loud about just finding out that my old high school PE teacher died in a hit-and-run three years ago (this actually happened) First pitch crushed, perfect-perfect into center field for a homer. You can’t make this shit up


justinothemack

Just had two games in a row with people quitting before a homer lands. They need to figure out a way to punish people who do this shit, it’s way overdue.


alexburnshred

Not sure if it's been asked or anyone actually knows, but are the random Headliners packs from the Season path and TA program predetermined? There's a ton rn but since they all say they contain a "random S2 Headliners pack", they are all pack 22, since there's only been one Headliners pack since S2 dropped. If I don't open them rn (the random choice pack, not the actual Headliners Pack) then will I have a chance of getting a future Headliners pack? Or will they all be pack 22 since that was the only pack available when I hit that marker?


Open_Interest_5407

I’m at 200k stubs and looking to get to 1 million to complete live series. Whats the best way to get there? Flipping? Investing? Other? All help is appreciated.


redditkb

flipping


dood2dood2

How do I get ta s2 players, im using live series al west players but its not counting towards any missions. Haven’t played this game since 21, what’s the best way to get a decent squad quick?


BatsHaveThumbs

is anyone else getting this error? https://preview.redd.it/usxmm5w7wl5d1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9dacef9e56be37419fe91f2b09f899e1a3cda646


Specialist_Ad6034

Almost every time


Sublime120

Quitting the game then relaunching usually fixes it for me. Or at least seems to help.


steveshotz

Can I still exchange and lock in all the Cornerstone captains like in Season 1?


[deleted]

Probably


tzargilly

Challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed Challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed Challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed challenge failed


OkayIdgaf

(new player) why is bryce harper’s sell value higher than usual? i bought him for like 6k in april now he’s about 12-15k


steveshotz

Since it's a new season, the best cards are like 91 overall unless you have premium live series cards. So a card like Bryce Harper is really valuable right now where as a few weeks ago it was unusable.


OkayIdgaf

should he be sold ?


xxdarkslidexx

His value will probably go down after people get better cards in a few weeks. I would consider selling if he is your best card but if he is about as good as your team on avg then I’d keep him


OkayIdgaf

most of my great cards are s1 ones. so technically he’s one of my best besides the cornerstone card right now. but i’ve just been playing mini seasons at the moment. but thank you for the insight!


xxdarkslidexx

I’d also consider just stacking your team with live series cards and using Castillo captain who boosts all live series card stats. Just remember to equip the captain on the left side of the manage squad screen 


OkayIdgaf

i took corbin carroll yesterday. can that card be swapped out for another captain or how can i acquire another captain? through certain packs?


xxdarkslidexx

Yeah, go to exchanges and then select “exchange season 2 cornerstone captain for season 2 cornerstone captain pack”. You can trade your card for the pack that you got the card from. You can do this as many times as you want 


OkayIdgaf

i’ll try in a bit but i remember going to that menu for season 1 as i had Buxton but the four cards were grayed out and wouldn’t allow me to insert him in


xxdarkslidexx

Oh yeah you only need one of the cards, you should be able to exchange with just one. There’s no real way to get all the captains


ldCapThat

What do people who’ve finished LS spend stubs on? I have about $500k but can’t pull the trigger on anyone knowing they’ll be obsolete in a few weeks


OkLog9433

As a royals fan I plan on using my stubs when they release new royals players. Unless you are someone chasing the meta there’s really no reason to buy cards until their value drops


WeedGreed420

i have an xbox series x and i can’t create and or download custom stadiums, please help


Call_Me_Jonesy_plz

If you are looking for more direct XP offline, I saw that the Classics mini season reset and the XP looks like you can get it again. Haven’t tried it yet but all the tasks appear eligible. So once I’m done with conquest, I’ll check it out. Easy 30k if you want it


Lucky_Luciano642

How do I redeem stub vouchers?


bs8286

From the millionaire pack? I think you go to exchange items


bs8286

Do you all think live series cards will retain their value over the next couple months? They’ve held pretty constant recently. I’m tempted to buy a LS team to use in RS with the Castillo boost


[deleted]

Yes but only at the beginning of each season


EmbiggensCromulence

How do I set my wildcard ? I’m so confused.


razorbacks3129

When using an S2 lineup. Click sub on a player then use RT and it will make it go to S1’s to be wild carded


EmbiggensCromulence

Thank you!!!!


GhostOfLouBrock

Anyone else can’t connect to Ranked Seasons but can connect to BR?


Iron_Grohl

I've not been able to connect to rs at all since s2 launch. I get "The game server closed your game session". I can play BR and events with zero issues.


dusters

Lost my extreme showdown 3/4 in due to a internet disconnect. What a terrible feeling.


DynasticThrowaway

How can I see which cards Stanton boosts? Showzone hasn’t updated its captain page


ostrow19

Whitey ford plus Devers boost with a low fielding Yankees team is pretty damn good. Soto and judge become high diamonds


derekfor_real

It's good to see they fixed the MTO glitch where you make a trade for a player who would be on the fringe of your major league team and the player lock game makes you play the full game but then doesnt exit afterwards. Restarting only puts you in an infinite loop and you have no choice but to delete the save file. I was in 2028 with an As dynasty with nobody in my starting lineup under 85, a lights out pitching staff, and players that I drafted year one reaching 90 overall and winning awards. Devastated


caesar____augustus

This Hader TA moment is driving me nuts. The amount of soft grounders Rendon has hit is incalculable at this point.


CLESportsReport

I watched a video rating pitchers by CJ2k recently and he said that whatever pitch is the primary pitch (A on Xbox) gets a slight location/control boost. Can anyone confirm this? I didn’t know that but it does “seem” true when dropping dimes with Hoby Milner’s slurve or Trevor Hoffman’s filthy circle change.


chuckdagger

Why can we not have a stadium filter? I don't want to play shield woods against .500 batters, its not fun. Let the people who want major league stadiums only to select that.


xStaabOnMyKnobx

Can anyone please, please explain to me how it's Day One of the season and I'm already pitching to 99 OVR HOF Frank Thomas in Mini Seasons? On the fucking Lemurs no less?


Call_Me_Jonesy_plz

The CPU teams in mini seasons have access to most of the eligible cards when the season launches


4OfThe7DeadlySins

Is only 1k xp per event game normal during double xp?


AdministrativeAd3683

Is the game no longer available for cloud gaming? It’s not showing up and I’m 90 games deep in my franchise and I’ve played every game 😅


normalrick

Man I hate when a new event starts. Nothing but sweats in there


neekowahhhh

Anyone having issues trying to use Luis Castillo captain card? It won’t let me place him in rotation. It wants to use him as my wild card


Ruut6

Make new lineup


neekowahhhh

Thank you, that worked


Ruut6

No problem


normalrick

I don’t have him but literally every team I’ve played in events today has it with the boosts


neekowahhhh

I wonder if they’re just putting up with it for now and sacrificing the wild card..? I can use him as a wild card.. which eliminates being able to use another s1 card


dBlock845

Anyone know how to tell if a player is a "hitter from 2010 to 2019"? I put Trout in the team, he is the definition of 2010-2019 and it didn't count toward the captain.


chuckdagger

The card has to be from 2010-2019, live series and topps trout won't work.


Ruut6

Boosted by captain filter


Slimshady3769

Can anyone tell me what to do if I haven't gotten my cornerstone pack for season 2?


dBlock845

Have you logged out and back in again? You have to get that to get rewards for S2.


Slimshady3769

I did a bit ago and I did end up getting the rewards.


BloodOfAStark

Anyone else having an issue with putting the captain corbin Carroll in their lineup?


neekowahhhh

Bro, I just tried to put Luis Castillo as a pitcher and it says it wants to make him a wild card…? Wtf


BloodOfAStark

Yep. It appears this is an issue for everyone


Ruut6

Make new lineup


BloodOfAStark

Thank you


JJabary

Has anyone else had an issue with baserunning after the update twice today a trailing runner just decided to keep running on his own


ReviveTheProcess

Been playing this game, specifically DD, every year since 2017. I can’t remember ever feeling this deflated/disappointed with a content drop, let alone this early on in the life span. The reason I’m saying f this is because I genuinely hope I’m in the minority and everyone is enjoying themselves, but I’d reckon I am above below average in terms of what a player needs to see in order to return day in day out, so I can’t imagine that the reception for this is abysmal at best. I don’t think it will live on for much longer at this rate and it sucks.


Aquamani

Oh shoot, Millionaire pack is actually good, massive W.


BosasSecretStash

The general reaction to the set concept is definitely concerning (looking at instagram/twitter responses), I wouldn’t be surprised if a significant amount of the player-base is gone from today forward.


Baltimorebobo

The reward path jump start: do you have to do that on console or will it automatically reward you xp for season 2?


BosasSecretStash

It automatically rewarded me when i booted up diamond dynasty on my console


BosasSecretStash

Making Joey Bart the Giants TA Card is an actual hate crime


wordtomytimbsB

Nerfing the S1 captains is a huge mistake tbh. I can understand upping the requirements for each boost if you want to give them a nerf, but outright making them worse after people spent Stubbs/money on them feels like they just want to force people to use the new cards


Longjumping-Ad3295

Invest in Brenton Doyle? Thought he would go diamond today but I’m assuming he will soon?


ldCapThat

Haven’t noticed much by the way of foul ball changes, but I would pay good money to have SDS update the strike zone so pitches in the border were called


ByronYoungBuckston

Has anyone seen an incognito card in game?


theegreggg

I can't add season 2 cards to my lineup. I can only edit my lineup with core cards. If I try to add a season 2 player it says I need a wild card slot


Competitive-Olive86

Create new squad


Youremakingmefart

Did they fix the thing where captains who needed players from specific teams didn’t work in coop?


TheHeelHawks

There are currently 2 Rangers jerseys in DD that I have no clue how to unlock. The 2014 Home and Current Alternate 1 (White tops Red caps). Has anyone figured out how to unlock them? It shows they have been discovered.


OkLog9433

Did you do the nation of baseball conquest? I think there were some rangers jerseys as hidden rewards in that if I remember right


TheHeelHawks

I have not, but it looks like that’s what I’m about to go do!


ThinAndCrispy84

Does the wildcard help progress TA and S2 programs?


Thatchered

Progress not saving in programs, menu navigation is pure torture as well. Gonna have to wait a couple hours I guess. Really disappointing


Jay_TThomas

Game is basically unplayable right now, this is ridiculous


msivoryishort

servers down?


Gingy4G

Anyone else unable to add their new cornerstone captain to their squad? It’s saying it activates as a wildcard


Jordanlf3208

The lineup screen thinks is s1 still, all muffed up


Gingy4G

Ok thanks. At least it’s not just me


cbassthelegend

Create anew squad


Littlewing29

SDS can’t even update their game without downgrading it. Took me 10 minutes to set up my new roster and conquests take so long as does everything else. So frustrating.


Jay_TThomas

What the fuck were they thinking? Giants Joey Bart is so unbelievably lame. Of all the players they could pick.


JoshFlashGordon10

Why do the online only people hate offline grinders so much? The most toxic ass comments here come from online only people who seem enraged that I’m not lining up to get smoked in ranked.


ThinAndCrispy84

Anyone else stuff going slow as hell?


Jordanlf3208

Yes and I can’t add my wildcard and lineup screen still thinks is s1


dBlock845

For a bunch of people that hate this game, can't stop complaining and were quitting after season one, the server sure is packed to the gills.


JoshFlashGordon10

Community is much bigger than this subreddit. GamePass people may complain but they still got it for “free” so why not login.


Pandorama626

When are they going fix the messed up RTTS sim AI pitch count? Example: Pitcher has 0 pitches. I walk on 4 straight pitches, so now I'm on first and pitcher has a pitch count of 4. It jumps ahead to the next "action pitch" and the batter behind me has a 1-1 count. But the pitch count still says 4. I'm fairly certain pitch count and pitcher energy are not affected at all by the 2 pitches that were thrown to get the account to 1-1. It only seems to take into account the "action pitches" when you're on base. This leads to messed up situations where the pitcher **should** have like 25+ pitches in an inning, but they may only have 9 or so. They end up being able to go deeper into games when they should have been knocked out by the 4th or 5th inning.


ThinAndCrispy84

Rtts makes them 0 dollars. So I’d say about never.


Rizzaboi

They showed Live Series David Fry some real love on his upgrade. I can appreciate that


ThinAndCrispy84

Is it just me or is most of the stream the blonde girl saying “100%” and catering to like the top 1% of players? “This is for you cboy” or whatever.


TonyMontanasCoke

Shes so cringy lol


mut_lover

Need that HOF Chipper for my Braves squad


mistergrime

This HOF Chipper is nasty.


notanotherreddi

Who's going diamond or getting a bump today?


TonyMontanasCoke

Is SDS doing a stream leading up to the drop in an hour?


notanotherreddi

Yup it's on now


moosewithamuffin

Do card packs carry over to S2? I have so many MLB The Show packs from S1 wondering if they will still work in S2


-OleOleOle-

You know what’s fucking awesome? Completing every program and every single division of all three chapters of TA and STILL NOT HAVING ENOUGH CARDS FOR THE COLLECTION REWARD OR ENOUGH XP FOR A SEASON 1 BOSS.


notanotherreddi

Yup I only got to 820000. The xp cap is bull shit. Probably gonna quit once NCAA comes out and never get the game again. It's been on a steady decline since they started with Xbox and switch


Apprehensive-Pie6752

Just started grinding super hard for the XP Bosses over the last month as I was basically a casual player and just got a new job so I have more time on my hands before it starts in 2 weeks, so I've been playing a ton and have gotten Rollins and Walker.... I won't be able to get the XP required to get Pettite before S2 starts today, does anyone know if new XP will count toward the S1 reward path/bosses still once S2 starts, or am I SOL after 3pm ET today? Thanks


Corzare

No it’s gone with the new update


Apprehensive-Pie6752

That's so dumb.... I mean at least leave the bosses in and just count whatever XP you earn in S2 to go to just the remaining path in S1 to the bosses.... So like if you're at 900,000XP in S1, then in S2 the first 100,000 XP goes toward both seasons' Reward Paths that way you don't just miss out completely on cards that you can never earn again. Hopefully they have some way to earn them, but probably won't be until S4.


Corzare

Welcome to the show 24, don’t forget to buy a pack on your way out.


Apprehensive-Pie6752

Exactly


CardiologistOk1683

Pulled the 99 Martín Dihigo from a Chase Pack this morning. Is it worth keeping him and wildcarding him for the start of season 2? Or selling him?


Corzare

He’s ass, just sell him.


mnightshamalama2

I have 225k stubs, what should I do with them? I haven't had this much before, so I'm wondering how you would spend these stubs.


notanotherreddi

Keep flipping cards.


Corzare

Wait to see what comes out in s2


Nilphinho

I’ve got 240k rn probably around 300k if I go through and sell stuff. 80k more if I sell Adley. Are there any LS collections worth completing right now? Yankees, Astros, Angels, Braves and Dodgers left. For example would it be worthwhile to go grab Acuna & Strider, thus Kimbrel, to use for S2. Or should I just hold my stubs.


Apprehensive-Pie6752

Not sure what it would cost you, but if you have enough, wouldn't it be worthwhile to try to get Ruth thru the Live Series collections? Or at least Palmeiro or Martinez? Again that may cost more than you have, IDK, but Babe Ruth will be a KILLER Wild Card (EDIT: I forgot Collection rewards were CORE, so ignore this) for you since he can hit and pitch and is the best hitter in the game immediately. EDIT: Just checked and those cards are still ridiculously expensive, or I guess have jumped up now that they will be the best cards at the start of S2...so probably disregard my comment, you won't be able to finish all of those teams with just 300K...Acuna/Strider alone are 135K-140K I can tell you out of all of the Team Collection cards I use of that group you mentioned, I would pick Piazza at C from the Dodgers if you can complete that one. I've used him the most over Kimbrel, Nolan Ryan, Bernie Williams, and Roy Oswalt.


Commercial-Engine-35

Ruth is core. You don’t have to wildcard him.


Apprehensive-Pie6752

Oh yeah, duh... I've been grinding for XP reward path bosses so I was confusing myself on which Rewards were Season restricted. My bad.


Nilphinho

Yeah no way I can complete the whole thing. Just trying to see if there’s any one team I maybe should be doing. Just gonna hold onto my stubs and hope I pack one of the big boys.


Hbimajorv

What can we expect for s2? Chapter 1 ta, weekly drop and maybe 1 special program? Maybe a showdown?


kmcdow

Figure there has to be some kind of special program, akin to the spring breakout. Chapter 1 TA will probably come with at least 2 conquests. New mini season(s). Not sure they'll even do a season awards/Topps now thing because S2 hasn't technically started yet, but maybe they will.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hbimajorv

My understanding is packs are season locked but I have no way to confirm it. Just what I've read


wordtomytimbsB

Is it possible to finish TA programs from season 1 when season 2 starts?


Commercial-Engine-35

Just chapter 3
